That should be fun! <\/p>\n<p>Even more so because there are a few problems the media have created for themselves in advance.<\/p>\n<p>For the past six years, journalists in Washington and New York have been <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/11\/01\/media-ponder-how-dishonest-and-manipulative-to-be-for-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pondering aloud<\/a> on how \u201cresponsible\u201d they are for Trump having ever been president, what they should have done to prevent it, and <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/10\/17\/dear-washington-post-journalists-the-public-interest-isnt-the-same-thing-as-your-political-preference\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">how they can handicap him<\/a> if he ever tries to get there again.<\/p>\n<p>This is called a conspiracy. Or, if you prefer, collusion.<\/p>\n<p>But since they\u2019re on the record admitting their emotional hostility toward a major party presidential candidate, it\u2019s impossible for them to pretend that every editorial decision they make in covering the election is anything but driven by that hostility. It\u2019s not new that the media hate Trump. But that there is now such an enormous body of evidence proving that they are prepared to actively choke every ounce of breath from his new campaign means they can\u2019t sell it to voters that this is going to be fair by any measure.<\/p>\n<p>Hmm. Who do we know to have thrived in and even relished circumstances that are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/the-fix\/wp\/2016\/10\/20\/the-emmys-a-chemistry-test-and-an-election\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">demonstrably unfair<\/a>? Not sure at the moment, but I\u2019ll get back to ya!<\/p>\n<p>If Trump wants to recreate 2016, he\u2019ll have to do what he did in 2016. He\u2019ll have to step outside of the Fox News cocoon and beat the media on their turf \u2014 their studios, their airwaves. I don\u2019t know if he can do it again, but it\u2019s the only way. To limit himself to friendly (though increasingly less so) anchors at Fox is to write off all the voters he needs and who want to hear him answer questions related to his handling of the pandemic, crime, abortion, Ukraine, the economy, and on and on. He can\u2019t be afraid to put himself in that environment now, just as he wasn\u2019t in 2016. The point is to prove that as president, he had it right, that the press has been wrong, and that the truth is on his side.<\/p>\n<p>The media, however, are going to have to make some very interesting choices. Do they resist covering Trump\u2019s campaign events? Live feeds of his rallies are going to be 100 percent excluded outside of maybe Fox News. (After a Media Matters staffer <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ndrew_lawrence\/status\/1592702740551159814\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">called out CNN<\/a> on Tuesday for airing Trump\u2019s campaign announcement live, the channel cut to \u201canalysis\u201d and \u201cfact-checking.\u201d) All of his pronouncements on social media related to policy will be ignored, other than to call them racist, without sharing exactly what he said.<\/p>\n<p>But what about press conferences? Are they going to decline on-camera interviews? Are they only going to sit down with Trump under the condition that it\u2019s not live so that they can \u201cfact-check\u201d him<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No matter which way they turn, it&#8217;s a dead end.
